In Q3 2024, the real estate debt capital providers are asking...

Should I Stay or Should I Go:

Hand-to-hand Combat from the Frontline of Upside Lending and Downside Protection

Stay: Hunker down and let time heal all real estate wounds

• Most banks, which are responsible for the majority of real estate lending, are at a full-stop; 
• Trillions in impending maturities and looming defaults;
• See-through office buildings, zombie malls and wrong-sized multifamily debt persist.

At the same time…

GO: Rip that band-aid off and get moving

• Eager debt fund lenders now dictate terms and pricing, and are flush with capital; 
• Life companies, private capital – and even CMBS - are (partly) filling that bank-lending vacuum;
• Projections are back down-to-earth with realistic growth assumptions;
• History shows this is the cyclical moment for savvy lenders to make bulletproof loans.

How can borrowers best position their credit requests?

Can lenders work through yesterday’s problems and originate creditworthy loans at the same time?

What are borrowers’ best options with respect to workouts and seeking new financing?

What are (any?) options for construction financing?
